Re: Is blu tak the magic cheapo option for non audiophiles?
Besides damping vibrations in the headshell/cartridge, the Blu-Tak also increases mass at the playing end of your tonearm. Increased mass is not bad. With a low or medium-compliance cartridge, too low a tonearm mass can cause the mass-compliance resonance to be too high, into the audible range. It could be that the increased mass has put your resonance down farther toward the desired 12Hz range.
